Kohsuke Kawaguchi Leaves Sun/Oracle

Kohsuke Kawaguchi, senior staff engineer at Sun Microsystems,
has revealed that he is leaving the company.

Following his departure, Kawaguchi has written that he plans to
start his own company to take Hudson to the “next stage.” Even though
Kawaguchi is leaving Sun/Oracle, he will continue to lead the
Hudson project and help to transfer the Hudson infrastructure
services to their IT operations team. Kawaguchi warns the Hudson
community to expect some out-of-schedule releases and service
disruptions during this period.

“And finally, big thank you to everyone in the Hudson community,
and in a broader java.net community. I wouldn’t be here without you
guys, and I feel very proud that I’m a part of it,” he
concludes.
